Women And Men In The Bible Poem by margaret haig

Special men and women

There were in the bible, special people who loved The Lord,
Just ask the Lord to show you, as you read His Holy Word;
Each had their own work to do, a very special task you see,
Let's now find out in this poem, each in History.

First was a man of Faith, Abraham was his name,
He put God first, he wanted his wife to do the same;
God told him one day, because of his faith so great,
He would be a father of many nations, yes! The facts are straight.

Next to tell you is Esther, a woman of royal Decree,
She was chosen to lead her people, to tell the king her plea;
How Haman hated the Jews, and wanted to kill them all,
He died on his own gallows, and great was his families fall.

Now! The next man I will tell you all about, for you to read,
Is Stephen, who was stoned for his faith till he did bleed;
And as he was almost dying told God to forgive them all,
Then God took him home to glory, because he obeyed Gods call.

One woman trusted God so much, and prayed to God for a son,
When her husband chose to eat, she didn't like much fun;
She prayed in the Temple that God would answer her prayer,
But Eli thought she was drunk, as he watched her there.

There was another man who loved God you see,
He was Enoch, and he walked with God to Glory;
The other man God took home, was Elijah, it's true,
He was A prophet, went by chariot when time was due.

Now there were three women who also loved God as well,
One was Ruth, the other was Dorcas, and Mary I do tell;
Each put God First, and trusted God with their life,
And protected them all, and they never got into strife.

Each of these people, we're an example for us to follow,
If we live our lives like they did, we will not know sorrow;
We shall have the light of God, and will only do what's right,
So keep your eyes fixed on God, trust with all your might.
